What Is Isocarboxazid Used For?

Some people may wonder, "What is isocarboxazid used for?" Isocarboxazid is used to treat depression in people who are at least 16 years old. In order to use isocarboxazid safely, people must commit to following a strict diet and avoid many medications in order to avoid many dangerous food and drug interactions. There are also several off-label uses of isocarboxazid, such as treating anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder.

Isocarboxazid has been proven in large clinical trials to help adults with depression. However, due to many potentially lethal food and drug interactions, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (including isocarboxazid) are usually used as a last resort to treat severe depression. In order to use this medication safely, you must commit to following a strict diet (see Marplan Food Interactions) and to avoid many (if not most) medications, including over-the-counter products (see Drug Interactions With Isocarboxazid).
